SPAR STONEHAVEN DONATES £1,000 TO KINCARDINE AND DEESIDE BEFRIENDING

SPAR Stonehaven, owned and operated by CJ Lang and Son Limited has recently donated a generous £1,000 to Kincardine and Deeside Befriending.

The money was raised through the sale of single use carrier bags, which since October 2014 cost customers 5p per bag.

K & D Befriending is a local registered charity which aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness in older people throughout the Kincardine and Deeside area by matching them on a one to one basis with a volunteer befriender. A regular visit from a befriender can provide companionship, practical and emotional support, and generally improve physical and mental wellbeing; in many cases, a carer also benefits from the welcome respite provided.
